Paddling Excursion A guided, one-time, one-hour paddle lets you enjoy the tranquil polar surroundings from an intimate perspective. Just imagine yourself gliding along on a stable, sit-on-top kayak, totally at one with the water.
Sea Kayaking Kayaking along the rugged coastlines and through the calm bays with an experienced guide is one of the most inspiring ways to explore pristine Antarctica. Guests in the sea kayaking program typically paddle multiple times during their expedition.

Zodiac Cruising These reinforced rubber skiffs whisk you safely from ship to shoreline and back, taking you into shallow waters the ship can’t reach. Touring by Zodiac on the look-out for wildlife is an intimate and relaxing way to explore.
Walking/Hiking Hiking in Antarctica is free-form and supervised by our staff, who set out a perimeter at each landing site within which you are free to explore. Some walking poles are available upon request; bring your own if you require them on every landing.
Stand-Up Paddleboarding Part surfing, part paddling, this water sport is an intimate way to experience Antarctica from the unique vantage point of the water.
Camping It may sound unbelievable, but camping overnight on the 7th Continent is absolutely wonderful—snug in your warm, water-resistant and breathable bivy under the dim glow of a polar sky with an intimate group of campers.

Flightseeing Enjoying a bird's-eye view of the Antarctic—icebergs, glaciers, snow-capped peaks, ocean expanses—from the seat of a helicopter provides a unique perspective of the polar wilderness.
Polar Plunge As madcap as it looks, this activity sees willing participants jumping into the bone-chilling ocean waters. It’s a polar rite of passage—and the photo ops are priceless. Dare yourself to take the plunge.
Exclusive Heli-Landing A small group of guests (with guides) will be transported by helicopter to a polar site where you’ll have time to relax and enjoy your polar surroundings, after which the helicopters will pick up guests in the same spot and return to the ship.
